Don't know Java, don't know C#, never programmed before? No problem!
In this course you will learn how to use MIT's App Inventor to create 4 fully functional apps without writing any code and along the way you'll learn some basic programming concepts that will Help you gains the skills you need to be able to program in a programming language like Java.
We'll start off by learning about App Inventor and how to get it setup and then we'll jump right in and create the follow 4 real applications:
app 1: Number Guessing Game;
